War is always accompanied by bloody storms, and there is no immortal in all wars, especially ancient wars, the degree of cruelty is not imaginable by modern people, and the killing caused is not comparable to modern wars.

However, there are no absolutes in everything, not all wars are for the sake of fighting for power, sometimes in order to defend the country, even if the ruler does not want to fight, he can only be forced to defend himself, and when the national strength is weakened, he will mobilize his strength as much as possible to fight to the death against those barbaric invaders who are completely inhumane, win, the country will be protected, the people will be healthy, defeated, the lives will be ruined, and the world will be destroyed!

………

The mountain wind howled endlessly, rustling the surrounding vegetation.

After the rain, there is no sunny sky, and the sky is still dark, which is really in line with the name of Yin Mountain.

In the dim environment, on a certain ground in the mountains, at this moment, Yao Fujiang was hiding behind a tree and gobbling up, eating the bread in his hand.

Yes, since escaping from the grove, the flat-headed young man has been non-stop, although he is not moving fast due to physical limitations, but in order to run as far as possible before the white-faced female beet recovers, Yao Fujiang still stubbornly supported his weak body and fled one after another, and fled for nearly half an hour in one breath, until his physical strength was completely exhausted, until he was no longer able to move, and in desperation, he had to hide on the side of the road and pause to rest.

Fortunately, there was some food packed on his back before going up the mountain, and he did not hesitate to eat during the break, I have to say that ingesting food is really the best way to recover his strength, and he will eat all the bread he carried by dividing by two, Yao Fujiang obviously felt that his earlier physical energy was partially compensated, and it was impossible to fully recover, but at least he recovered his mobility, and he believed that as long as he was not in a running state in the subsequent advance, it was not a big problem to insist on hurrying.

Time is pressing, just do it when you think of it, drink the last bottle of mineral water, Yao Fujiang, who feels that he has recovered a certain amount of strength, plans to get up and continue to hurry, for no other reason, he needs to meet Chen Zhao and the others as soon as possible.

(Well, the area of Yinshan is really not small, fortunately, I know the general location of the Judge Temple, and I have no way to retreat, all the talismans and props on my body have been consumed, and I have completely lost my defensive ability, coupled with a great reduction in physical strength, and my movement speed is limited, even a lonely soul can easily catch up with me now, and then kill me, if I don't find my teammates to seek refuge as soon as possible...... ）

After figuring this out, Yao Fujiang, who had already stood up, did not hesitate, and continued to move forward with the little physical strength brought by food, trampling on the muddy and rugged mountain road under his feet to grope for a search, trying to meet his teammates as soon as possible.

………

Walking through the mountains and forests, except for the frequent coldness of the mountain wind, nothing happened during the period.

For Yao Fujiang, this is good news.

Because he had just eaten two pieces of bread, Yao Fujiang's walking pace this time was much smoother than when he escaped from the woods earlier, no longer stumbling, no longer vain, the overall strength was quite strong, and he was currently walking along a mountain jungle that was barely a road, the speed was not fast, first due to the cloudy day vision blocked, and then the mountain road was uneven, and during the walk, he had to carefully look around while paying attention to his feet so as not to trip over the gravel vines, it was true that this undoubtedly affected the speed of the journey, but at least it allowed him to remain vigilant enough, After all, for Yao Fujiang, who has lost his talisman props, what he is most afraid of at present is not the long distance, but the encounter with the mantis halfway, extremely afraid of the group of lonely soul wild mantis wandering in the mountains.

Therefore, no matter what, we must muster up 120,000 spirits, no matter what, we must tense our nerves to the extreme, and we must immediately take shelter and evacuate as soon as there is any disturbance.

To get back to the point, as the walking continued, the current time has come to 16:15 in the afternoon, almost an hour has passed since the initial walking, although it is not denied that the heavy rain has long stopped, but the sky has not cleared from beginning to end after the rain, and the sky will be dark in two or three hours, seeing this, Yao Fujiang is getting more and more uneasy, and his heart can't help but become anxious, and he doubts whether he can arrive at the judge's temple before dark, and his will is slightly shaken.

Da, da, da.

Breathing is suppressed and heavy, the pace is slow and subtle, Yao Fujiang is still cautiously walking through this mountain path, looking left and right all the way, guarding endlessly, lest he encounter danger, and as he said earlier, the young man has now raised 120,000 vigilance, so he is moving and observing, always paying attention to the surroundings, looking left and right.

It's just that......

Just as there is no such thing as a perfect defense, many times people tend to be alone.

Others are like this, and so is Yao Fujiang.

It is not denied that the flat-headed young man is indeed mentally concentrated and highly vigilant, nor does it deny that he does frequently observe and look left and right along the way, but ......

He ignored him.

It was precisely because of this negligence that he unknowingly fell into a crisis again, into a life and death crisis.

Because......

As he walked, he saw something appear a hundred meters behind him.

A woman slowly floated out of the grass somewhere behind, a woman with a disheveled hair and a white body.

The pale face was bloodless, and the black hole's eye sockets were like an abyss, floating silently to the road, and then began to follow, gradually approaching the whole body with the ground off the ground, approaching the young man in front of him, and approaching Yao Fujiang, who was ignoring behind him.

White-faced female stalk!

Yes, it was the white-faced female scorpion, the evil spirit that almost killed Yao Fujiang with a trap more than an hour ago!

No one knows when the female moth will resume its movements, nor how the female moth will find the traces of the youth, the only thing that is known is...... At this moment, the white-faced female scorpion reappeared, and quietly followed behind Yao Fujiang without making any sound, getting closer and closer, a little closer.

The screen pans to the front.

Walking silently, Yao Fujiang didn't notice the abnormality behind him, and he didn't know that there was a scorpion behind him that was approaching him little by little, having said that, however, the strange thing is that for some reason, while walking, the young man's brows changed slightly, and he immediately stopped moving and squatted down, looking ahead with the help of vegetation cover, looking straight ahead of the mountain road.

Sure enough, the vigilance that had been maintained for a long time really worked, saying that it was too late, and when he hastily possessed and hid in place, he looked up, although the distance was very far, but his eyes that were trying to open were still barely able to capture some pictures, and vaguely, he saw a group of people coming dozens of meters ahead, and a group of people who were more than dozens of people were collectively bowing their heads and moving slowly, moving silently.

Lonely Soul!

Obviously, unless you are a fool, unless you have not experienced the Yinyang Road mission, you can find out the true identity of that group of people just by looking at them, and there is no doubt that those so-called people are all lonely souls, and they are a group of lonely souls and wild beetles that wander the mountains all day long.

Seeing a group of lonely souls floating in front of the road, Yao Fujiang dared to slack off? One dodged to the grass on the side of the road, and then curled up like a stone and froze and hidden, hiding silently on the side of the road with the help of dense vegetation.

As expected, thanks to the timely response, the swarm of mantis gradually drifted in, and then disappeared behind the road, floating in the trees in the distance.

"Whew!"

Finally, it wasn't until dozens of lonely souls drifted away and confirmed that there was no more danger that Yao Fujiang got out of the grass again and returned to the road, first exhaled a long breath, and then reached out to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead like a happy one, yes, he had just successfully avoided a danger and successfully escaped a life-and-death catastrophe.

Unfortunately......

Many times the danger is not only once, the threat is not the end of the once, just in response to the old saying, you can't hide from the first day of the first day of the fifteenth, life should be so unavoidable, the king of Hades let you die in the third watch, and will not leave you until the fifth watch.

In the mountain road, looking at the group of mantis on the right side that was gradually moving away and even leaving only a faint outline, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Yao Fujiang turned around and left, intending to continue walking, but ......

Just as he instinctively turned around, just as he raised his feet to leave......

"Come here!"

Suddenly, a voice, a word, a woman's voice that seemed similar and incomparably familiar came to mind from behind.

The voice was not like a human voice, full of echoes, like a hideous roar from the abyss of the underworld, instantly echoing around the ears and filling the eardrums on the spot.

Not only that, but judging by the loudness of the sound, it's like ......

It's as if it's right next to your ears, so close that you can't hide, so close that it's right in front of you!

With the sudden sound behind him, the heart suddenly stopped at this moment, the hair stood up collectively at this moment, and the whole scalp was numb.

Out of instinct, the moment the voice sounded, with a dazed, mixed with trembling, stunned, Yao Fujiang turned his head suddenly, and then, he saw white, or as soon as he turned around, the first thing that caught his eye was a face, and the entire field of vision was occupied by a miserable white face, especially the pair of black Dong eyes in the white face were extremely clearly displayed in the line of sight, reflected in the pupils!!

This is......

The female stinger, the white-faced female stinger, is the evil spirit that almost killed her earlier!

Unexpectedly, the female moth found herself again, chased after her again, and even came behind her quietly!

"Wow, ah!!hhh

Seeing this scene, seeing the female scorpion close in front of him, even close to the point of facing his face, Yao Fujiang's pupils instantly constricted, and immediately let out a scream, and suddenly burst out under the unprecedented fear stimulus, too close, too close, too close to hide, so close that there is no escape, subconsciously told him that he was finished, and in reality, the young man was indeed about to end, the reason was very simple, at this moment, even if the white-faced female scorpion in front of him did not kill him, the howl he just now was enough to cause him to fall into death instantly, Because, as the screams resounded around the mountains and forests, on the right side of the mountain road, the group of lonely souls who should have been gradually moving away and about to disappear stopped, collectively stopped floating, collectively stopped moving, and then turned around like a group of wild beasts that had found their prey, turned back one after another, and floated towards the Yao Fu River at an astonishing speed several times faster than before, and gathered together!!

As for Yao Fujiang......

He screamed, and then he stopped screaming, shut up, and the screaming stopped abruptly after only two seconds.

It wasn't that he didn't want to scream, it wasn't that he suppressed his fear, but that he couldn't scream, because two seconds later, the white-faced female scorpion's suddenly outstretched white hands sank into her body, and they reached directly into the young man's chest when she was so close that there was no way to hide.

"Woo......"

Poof.

The familiar feeling of cold and paralysis, the familiar loss of physical energy, the irresistible brain blur, and the already small amount of energy in the body caused the whole person to fall to the ground and fall into the road as if it was evacuated in an instant.

This is the absorption of life force, and it is the absorption of life force that will never stop without sucking people into dry corpses.

(Why?) Why is this happening? I've struggled countless times, I've dodged countless times, but I didn't expect to be killed by the mantis in the end, is this my destined ending? Is it destined that I will die in Yin Mountain? ）

Different from earlier, different from the wooden house at the beginning, this time, Yao Fujiang lost his ability to resist, there was no possibility of resistance at all, his physical strength had long been exhausted, and his energy had long been exhausted, so naturally, when the white-faced female moth attacked him for the second time, the flat-headed young man fell on the spot, like a corpse falling on his back.

However, Rao is slamming to the ground, even if it seems to be dead, the extremely vicious female moth has not stopped, and the arm still has not been withdrawn from the young man's body, it is obvious that the female moth is clearly determined to kill the other party, and will not give up until she absorbs the vitality of the prey, and will not stop until she completely transforms Yao Fujiang into a dry corpse!

Just like when he was in the wooden house at the beginning, Yao Fujiang not only fell into the hands of the white-faced female ghost again, but was also absorbed by the female ghost for the first time like last time, and what made Yao Fujiang even more desperate was ......

This time it was not only the white-faced female scorpion that attacked him, just at the moment when the flat-headed young man fell to the ground on his back due to his total body weakness, in a trance, through the corner of his eye, he also saw a large number of lonely souls floating out of the grass on both sides one after another, and saw a human lying still on the road, and the lonely souls suddenly accelerated as if they had been stimulant, and they all gathered around themselves who could not move!!

Seeing this scene, on the ground, Yao Fujiang, who was already unable to move because he was absorbed by the white-faced female scorpion, was desperate.

Utter despair.

This is not because he is not desperate, and even more so because he is not pessimistic, he once again fell into the control of the white-faced female stalk, and this time he also lost all possibilities of resistance, plus the props were exhausted, the only thing he could do at present was to wait for death, waiting to be surrounded by lonely souls, and then be sucked into a dry corpse in an instant.

In the muddy road, feeling the body gradually getting colder, feeling the consciousness gradually blurred, and seeing the wave of lonely souls on both sides of the road that was still a few meters away from arriving in front of him, it was strange to say, Xu was 100% sure that there was no more life, Yao Fujiang was not afraid, the fear that originally shrouded his heart disappeared, and the whole person calmed down, he, closed his eyes and chose to wait for death, his heart was full of regret......

(I don't have much physical strength left, and this time I was caught by the female moth again, and after a few seconds, the lonely souls on both sides are estimated to absorb my vitality like the female moth, hey, it seems, it seems that this time it is really in the catastrophe, regretful, sad, unlucky to the extreme, yes, I Yao Fujiang is unlucky in this life...... Unprecedented bad luck, first being inexplicably involved in the cursed space, and then being forced to perform a supernatural mission, is this miserable enough? I didn't expect to be killed until the end and turn into an ugly dead corpse, I didn't expect this to be my final ending. ）

(But what if you are unwilling?) Can you be saved from death if you are not reconciled? Stop dreaming, hey, just die...... ）

Under the wrapping of that unparalleled despair, without waiting for his consciousness to disappear completely, Yao Fujiang took the initiative to close his eyes, closed his eyes and waited for death, and at the same time, a large group of lonely souls swarming on both sides of his body finally floated in front of him, and then, as expected, as soon as they arrived close, the lonely souls stretched out their arms one after another like the white-faced female stalk, and stretched out their hands to Yao Fujiang's body.

Yao Fujiang also knew that this time he would definitely die no matter what.

Next......

Gotcha, dada, dada.

I don't know if I heard it wrong, or if my brain was too vague and I had auditory hallucinations, but not long after I closed my eyes, I heard a sound in my ears and heard a string of rhythmic horses' hooves stampeding.

(Huh?) ）

As mentioned above, at first, Yao Fujiang thought that he was dying due to auditory hallucinations, until the sound of horses' hooves continued to increase and then gradually became clearer, he had to be sure that he did hear a series of louder and louder horses' hooves, so he was a little puzzled, puzzled why he heard such a sound before he died, admittedly, there was nothing fuss about hearing the sound of horses' hooves, but please don't forget where this is.

This is Yin Mountain, which is a noisy mountain that few people have visited for more than 100 years!

It is conceivable that in the past, it was impossible for people to even come to the mountains, so how could there be horses?

The growing incomprehension in his heart caused suspicion to rise, prompting Yao Fujiang to plan to see what was going on before he died, and then, he opened his eyes again, but who would have thought ......

As soon as I opened my eyes, the first thing that caught my eye was stillness, silence, and in the field of vision, I saw that the lonely souls who surrounded him and were about to stretch their arms to themselves all stopped moving, not only the lonely souls, but even the white-faced female stalker who had been sucking life from her body also stopped moving, in addition, the terrifying and terrifying white mantis face was even more unprecedentedly terrified, faintly revealing a trace of nervous fear similar to that of a human being!

The moth actually showed a frightened expression!?

What's wrong? What the hell is going on? Could it be that there are still things in this world that can make the mantis feel afraid? Even if the scorpion charm knows how to be afraid because of its sobriety, how can the lonely souls around him who are completely unconscious also come to a standstill? It was as if they instantly sensed that some danger was approaching, and they stopped killing and looked up to look around.

Seeing this scene, Yao Fujiang was taken aback, and at the same time, the incomprehension and confusion in his heart became more and more intense, and before he could find the answer, next, something even more shocking happened to him......

Gotcha, dada, dada.

As the horse's hooves in the distance gradually approached, and the stampede became louder and louder, the next moment, the white-faced female stalk moved, the first to move, and actually took the initiative to withdraw her arm from Yao Fujiang's body, and then turned around and drifted, scattering and fluttering with a large number of lonely souls around, just like birds and beasts scattering in all directions, and scattered in just a few seconds!

This, this......

Witnessing this scene, this time Yao Fujiang was completely blinded, and the whole person was stunned on the spot, yes, he didn't know what was going on at all, only one thing could not be denied, that is, it was precisely because of the sound of horses' hooves that was getting closer and closer that he saved himself, saving himself from the original mortal and unsolvable situation, so that he was not killed by the swarm, and thinking of the fear reaction of the white-faced female scorpion and the lonely souls just now, he guessed that these mantis ran away because they were afraid of something.

Fear of something, something that even a moth is afraid of......

Groov!

Thinking of this, he suddenly came back to his senses, and in an instant, as his heart beat wildly, Yao Fujiang, who was still suspicious just now, was wrapped in fear again, and fear enveloped his whole body again!

Although he was lucky to survive because of the escape of the swarm, it was precisely because he was not dead, so his sense of fear that had just disappeared would return under the desire to survive, the reason was very simple, just ask, how can he, a human being, not be afraid of things that even the swarms are afraid of? Coupled with the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, if he remained here, then he didn't have to think about it to know what would happen to him.

Escape!

Run away and get away from the unknown before it gets closer!

The mind is right, but unfortunately the reality is cruel.

He wanted to escape, but he couldn't, and he couldn't even move his body.

Because he didn't have much physical strength left, and he was sucked hard by the white-faced female moth just now, Yao Fujiang at this time could be said to be completely useless, lying on his back on the ground and unable to move.

"Woo, ah......h

Whoa, whoa.

That's right, but, listening to the gradually louder trampling of horses' hooves in front of him, prompted by the will to survive, gritting his teeth fiercely, the flat-headed young man still struggled to roll his body without being able to get up, and then slowly squirmed like a puddle of mud, gritted his teeth and crawled to the side of the road, crawling to the grass by the roadside.

Yes, in his mind, even if there is no hope of escaping with all the physical strength, he has to hide, although he doesn't know what will happen next, and he doesn't know if the other party will find himself, but there is at least a chance to hide it.

"Whew, whew, whew."

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

So, dragging his weak body, while wheezing, Yao Fujiang crawled hard, crawling slowly in the muddy mountain path, the target was a grass bush on the right side of the path, where the terrain was low, and the grass covered it, I believed that as long as he lay motionless there, it stands to reason that he should not be easily discovered by the unknown things passing here.

Not far away, the sound of horses' hooves became louder, which also meant that things were coming in front of him, as for Yao Fujiang, with great effort, the young man also successfully climbed to the side of the road, got into the grass, and immediately did not dare to move, so while hiding in the grass while looking up with curious eyes, looking at the path, his ears were full of the sound of horses' hooves.

Gotcha, dada, dada.
